Strike: Apologise to Nigerians, Reps tell NMA.

‘…doctors’ new salary structure’ll reflect in 2015 budget’

The House of Representatives asked the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA to apologize to Nigerians following the industrial strike embarked upon by the NMA on July 1, 2014.

The Nigerian Medical Association had on August 25th, 2014 called off the said strike and ordered doctors back to work.

“The leadership of NMA has been described as unpatriotic even by other Nigerian doctors, as well as members of the public in view of health challenges confronting the nation and the scourge of Ebola Virus Disease, which erupted during the strike period.
 
“Patriotic Nigerians both home and abroad have passionately condemned the action of the current leadership of the NMA.

“The committee has a final word for NMA. The NMA has suspended the strike, but it has failed to do one thing: the NMA failed to apologise to Nigerians. The NMA should apologise to Nigerians for all the inconveniences and lives that were lost during the strike.
